3K Aquanaut review

Just received Aquanaut rep on rubber strap from Dr. Time. It looks incredible, but I have no idea how to connect rubber to clasp. I tried what was intuitive without success. Can someone help?!

Remove the pin from the clasp.
Place the rubber strap inside the clasp
Take the removed pin and insert it in the strap gap. Next find the clasp holes and that’s it.
Thank you so much!!! Much appreciated. One last question: I obviously have no clue so I apologize for the ignorance here. How do I get the pin back into place? I have it place in the last rut of the rubber and in one of the holes in the clasp. But it is too long to fit into the second hole. Do I have to use a tool to force it in there? Or what else do you advise?

they are springloaded if you compress them they short and go-to place once inside the hole.
Do a YouTube search on spring bars, and spring bar tools, and everything will make more sense

Hey guys, I did some research and found something that really tickles my OCD... it's a biggie to me at least. You know how the 3K dial doesn't have the "swiss made" at 6 o'clock and we all say it's because the dial is reference from the pre2009 model. I don't think that's the case...
The dial is consistent with the Aquanaut 5165A. Which is the 38m size Aquanaut. But 3K claims to be the 5167A and made the watch in 40m just like the gen 5167A.
So basically the 3K version of Aquanaut has a 5167A case with a 5165A dial..... OMG!!!
Here's a pic of the 5165A in 38m
So unless we swap with gen dial or ZF dial it will not be an accurate rep. Please correct me if I'm wrong but now I can't decide if I wanna get the ZF or 3K. I was so close on pulling the trigger on the 3K v2....

Apparently the 2007 5167 does not have Swiss Made and that’s what 3K based their replica on. It appears that Sotheby’s has one on auction right now and pictures support that.
